Dec’22 The challenging weather of the last couple of months has done nothing but presented opportunities for Child Passions to emerge even more. We had quite a few (most!) weeks of rain and where there is rain there is …. We are grateful for what we fondly call “The Crater” in the woods, a place … More Horizons Groups – Mid Winter
The pace of growth of our Horizons group has been tremendous and we now have two groups that are full to capacity. We know that a picture spells a thousand words so here are some to enjoy. We continue to have fun, be challenged and learn. Among more games than we could remember playing, we … More New horizons
We have been busy changing around our blogs, as the Wilder Ways and Horizons blogs have been housed elsewhere, so you may not have seen them online in the last few months. Sorry about that, we really love keeping you in the loop. You can always check out our Instagram or Facebook page. Back when we were just returning from summer break, we were planning together our goals and wishes for the … More Back on the blog

We found it so refreshingly great to not start Monday with an intensive three hour Zoom call with a last minute dash to briefly meet up and disperse again with just one of more person. Not this Monday, this … More So We are Back
We’ve been busy getting stuck into our national five study in Environmental Science – and enjoying the last months of 2020 which may be one of the more memorable ones we have all lived through. A few of things we have done over the past fortnight include measuring abiotic factors. An abiotic factor is a non-living … More Wild Study
November 2020 We’ve had a wild time these past weeks. Here are some updates! A week ago on our Monday we visited the Bamff Estate which is an award-winning eco-tourism spot that has been instrumental in the reintroduction of Beavers to Scotland. Beavers face many threats as their natural habits oppose the interests of commercial farmers in … More Winning Wild Ways
We alighted early at Kingsbarns Beach in the East Neuk last week. We had four seasons in one day, the last day of the term session. We examined the meaning of several biological/scientific terms such as “Herbivore” and ” Decomposer”. We reused the language to retell a story that Paula told us about how to … More Kingsbarns Rockpooling
We are having an online ceilidh on March 27th at 4pm on Zoom to say our collective goodbyes to the Earthship.

The decommissioning process will start the week of March 29th and will run for approximately 6 … More online ceilidh 27 March 2021
